Quite a few like Nellie are playing SteelFiber shafts.

I wonder if they are using the lightweight options that are becoming very popular.

And quite a few ladies wearing Skecher shoes.

Still want to see the new Arch Fit models.

With KBS pushing their graphite iron shafts more and more tour players will go to them

I hit a set of Mizunos with Recoil 120 F5s. They felt great!!

I imagine that steel fiber and graphite will be the future of shafts.

I’m sure it varies from player to player on shaft weight.

I think with the heavier graphite shafts being made like the MMT 125TX and others they’ll become more popular in irons.

What I thought was really interesting was to see Nelly Korda is playing a TSi1 driver. That driver head is supposedly built for the lower swing speed player, which she is not.

I’ve wanted to try the MMTs but haven’t done it yet.

She’s high speed for the LPGA, but not for overall driver design. She’s at 102 mph

It’s designed for people who swing driver around 90 mph.

I’m was just surprised by that and it made me curious what benefits she finds in it. It might simply be the weight as it is light head.

Notice that the look like they barely swing the club but somehow the ball speeds are 145+

Cetainly not a TSI 1 that you could buy in a store.

Tour head specially weight and tweaked for her I'm sure.

I have i95 SteelFiber in my irons and wedges. Love them. Above average swing speed.

Kuchar and Snedicker play them on tour
